Transport 2 bikes on the back of your vehicle by adding this bike rack to your Yakima EXO system. Fits most bike sizes and styles, including fat bikes, road bikes, and mountain bikes. Simple tool-free installation.Love my bike accessory. been using the storage box for a couple of years and just added the bike carrier. Heading out on our first ride to the Biltmore.
I love that I can put two bicycles that weigh under 50 pounds on this rack. My Ebike weighs 46 lbs , so it just makes the cut. At age 57, I do not want to be lifting 46 lbs up too high.. and possibly hurt my back! With this rack, I can toggle the bike and lift less than 30 pounds at a time. It’s fabulous.
We have used it for over a year and are very happy with it.
This was actually a really good bike holder. However, it is made for an inferior swing away system. Maybe if it was used in combination with a different platform that matched its quality.
unbelievably fast, received within two days of ordering. very sturdy, well built and easy to put together. directions easy to follow.
E trailers and Yakima deliver again! Excellent customer service and quality products. Thanks!
It is a great system! It gives me a place to put my electric cords, potable hose, grill pans, etc. I have even used it for extra clothing and blankets and gone thru snow and rain and everything stayed dry.
Only complaint is it's on the heavy side! But that's what you get when it's built solidly and to last. Storage box feels slightly thin, but after a few light tests, it should work nicely.
We use this for extra storage in our class B campervan. I'm able to store all the bulky items that don't fit inside the van like chairs, mats, and our grill. I like that it doesn't block the license plate or taillights and still allows access to the Thule bike rack. The SwingBase allows both doors to open for full access into the rear of the van.
The exotic cargo system has worked great on our promaster based class b motor home. We bought the 2 box setup,and it carries plenty, 2 golf bags in one and camping/beach gear in the other. We bought a small utility trailer for longer trips,and swapping the yakimas for the trailer only takes about 15 minutes.
no key for cargo carrier. Cargo crrier was locked when taken out of shipping container. Keys that came with the swing away hitch fit but did not unlock box and did not turn. No key was in shipping container or taped or otherwise affixed to the cargo carrier.
I can't say enough on how much I use the Exo platform on my FJ Cruiser. Best investment I have made for camping and hauling bins to storage.
I highly recommend Yakima Exo system. I'm actually about to buy addotional goodoes for it.
Thanks again, E-Trailer!
Shipping was well packaged and arrived in a timely manner. Instructions could use more detail, especially in terms of aligning screws when re-inserting to join carrier together. Otherwise, easy to put together & use.
We have owned our Yakima swing away cargo carrier for a year and it has been a wonderful addition to our Rubicon. It gives us all the room for our 2 large dogs while carrying our luggage to visit our family. It has been so helpful; it stays on the Rubicon all the time! The way the carrier swings out of the way was critical for the dogs to get access to the rear of the Rubicon. Can't live without our Yakima carrier!
I like the way these go on and off so easily (2 minutes max). I hope others can't see this as well. I've read about others that have had their license plate fall off and can see how this could happen. The holders are plastic screws and nuts attached to a rubber holder. I made a hand-written copy of my plate on sheet metal; bought a metal bracket; and attached with hex cap bolts and locking nuts. I don't really want to hang my plate on this. Would rather the plate be on the car and somewhat blocked by exo carrier as to on the highway 500 miles back. Maybe I'll change my mind after a long trip.
Good design with minor flaws. After 12 months of using main frame and one level container I have found rusting pin in the swing hinge and box perforation,probably caused by a small rock picked by the rear tire. This year I purchased the frame for the upper tier and a 2nd container. The upper rotaing frame is loosely fitted and requires some gymnastics to fit in the stabilizing screw. It is especially difficult with the upper container loaded. The securing screw should have a butterfly handle and a pilot point, like the one in the lower level.
I like this box. Once installed (Subaru Outback) works as advertised. The swing arm is heavy. I might put some reflective tape on to make it more visible at night. The plastic "screw in" clamps against an improperly seated carrier groove might cause problems in the future. I've had it on and off several times and you really have to make sure the channels on the bottom of the carrier lineup with the receiver on the Exo arm. My install is batting 50/50 on install on first try.
Great product. The whole Yakima exo system is one the best purchases ever. Extremely sturdy construction with many options available for multiple configurations.
It's a very nice rack with robust build quality, and it is easy to use. My only complaint is that it does loosen up a bit in the hitch receiver after a couple of trips, so I recommend checking it regularly. I have it paired with the Stage 2 for carrying the family's mountain bikes.
Really loved this product. Easy installation, quality tools provided as with the entire Yakimo package. Great product support from the entire Etrailer team especially Kelsey S. Thank you!!
I used a patio table cover ( under $20) to keep out dirt, bird droppings etc.while storing outside.
The lights work very well with the hitch box assembly.It is mounted on a Ford Transit camper. High visibility and easy to attach. The wire hold plastic clips have not held up after a few uses so I use some zip ties. The Transit blis system deactivates when a trailer is attached. You can use the Yakima box with lights and have blis active by setting trailer length to shortest setting in the controls. I believe it us longer than box and rack.
Do you have a question about this Modular Hitch Rack?
